Don't fix that is not broken. I don't need the new look. I do not like the new look at all. Furthermore, I can not see any improvement. You can't teach an old dog like me new tricks. You have screwed up all parts of it. I can't search, get back to where I was at after reading, can not view my photos that were in other mailings, or document, or receipts. Just give me back all the old basic mail that was easy to use. I might even pay the fee if necessary to have the old version back!

Please bring back the old look. I have never hated opening my email so much in my life.

I tried both new versions on desktop extensively and both are worse than classic mail for one main reason:
Classic mail has an option for both an endlessly scrolling email list and a preview visible *at the same time* as you're viewing the list. "message layout: bottom"
This is not possible with either of the new emails (Standard or Basic).
Standard is frankly harder to read. It's too large and all white and hard to read.
Basic would be fine *if* it allowed for an endless message scroll and message view: bottom. Even then it's slightly harder to read. The lack of endless messages scroll is a dealbreaker for me and is the one reason I haven't embraced google mail.
I just do not see the advantages of either Standard or Basic compared to Classic. I even tried to think about it in terms of advantages for Yahoo - better ads? more ads? I just don't see it. Please give us back the option for Classic mail.
If I'm missing something that would enable both and endless messages scroll and visible preview at the same time I would love to know.

Please bring back Classic. This latest change today has me on the verge of stopping using my yahoo email that I have had since 2002 and going to gmail entirely. Yes there is a button to go back to "switch to basic Mail" but basic yahoo is still not the classic view of yahoo email that I had yesterday 2/15/25. The basic now does not have the nice magnifying search to easily search on a sender or title very easily like Classic had. Basic does not even have a folder column. And the Basic "move to a folder is also much more convoluted than classic). Neither does the new standard version. The new standard version is ridiculously unusable (no folder column like classic had, no mention anywhere in the email of what folder the email belongs to). Totally agree with Bill. If Yahoo does not offer the Classic view very shortly I'll start the process of bailing on yahoo. This was not good Yahoo.

I do lots of emailing and having more than one button for functions takes too long. If this cannot be fixed I will need to change emails.

When I copied and pasted it took away my table, colors were gone, why in the world is there 2 styles of email when the original one worked. The new one you need too many clicks to do what 1 click did before. Why chose a file and have to hit apply? This is absurd.

PLEASE allow me to do two or more Bcc email lists in the same message. ALSO, When deleting an email, please post an UNDO option in case I make an error. I would also like to be able to drag a photo into an email and then be able to make it smaller or larger or delete it.

Move it back ...this is HORRIBLE. it is more confusing and takes more steps to do what I was able to do before. leave it alone and bring back what worked.

Stop making the UI worse! This is ridiculous! Especially bad is having to CLICK TO REFRESH to see if you have new mail. Whoever thought that was a good idea needs a new career.

Even basic is so much harder to look at. It's clumsy and the lines are too far apart. Also, keyboard shortcuts no longer work

You are so right. they never should have screwed with it. They think they're keeping it fresh but they are just screwing it up
